Counselor's Corner

During the next week I will be opening up Course Requests for next year for the incoming Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. We have worked very hard to get the online version up and running, complete with course descriptions. I will be sending out an announcement in ParentSquare when we are ready to take course requests. The target is the 4th or 5th of February. When students are choosing their courses for next year, there is a Question Mark in a blue dot on the course. When one clicks on that question mark, they will be able to see the course description. In addition, Mr. McCall and I have worked extremely hard to draft a course catalog. I am providing a link to the catalog. I am hoping this will help explain our graduation requirements and A-G requirements.

MHS Course Catalog 2025-2026

Course Requests for the incoming 8th graders should take place the following week.

The Santa Rosa Junior College presentation went extremely well! We had over 40 students in attendance and the reviews from the students were excellent.

On February 6th at 9:45 am in the Tallman Gym we will be going over the ASVAB and working on the career portion of the test. Very excited to see what students learn!

Senior To Do List:

If you have courses in Edgenuity, GET THEM DONE! I check everyday, even weekends to see if assignments need to be unlocked and I am not seeing any. Please work on these in all your spare time. Time is running out!

Common App - complete and if I am giving you a recommendation, get me your brag sheet!

Login and create your FAFSA or CADAA account and create invites for parents. FAFSA and CADAA are open! This is the perfect time to get this done!

https://dream.csac.ca.gov/landing - CADAA

Finish up and research scholarship applications. There are links below for more scholarship opportunities.

Not going to college? No problem, work on your classes and get everything caught up so you graduate. Credit Recovery students GET GOING!

Come see me if you have questions or need help! Please do not hesitate! I am here to help all of you!

Financial Aid Information:

Anticipated date the FAFSA and CADAA ARE open. They are going through an initial process right now, trying to get rid of any bugs or problems that were encountered last year. If you are not going to fill out a FAFSA, I need you to sign an Opt Out Form by April 1st.

Students can create their account and invite contributors (parent/parents/guardians) to also create an account. This way when it opens, you will be ready to go. Students need their own personal email account, honestly, this should be set up in their Freshman year because we also use it for dual-enrollment sign-ups. Students should not use their MUSD email!

Parents who file separate tax returns need separate accounts.

Student name needs to be an exact match to Social Security Card, also student school records need to be an exact match for Cal Grant.

Contributors without a Social Security number should apply very early, during that time there has historically not been a manual verification process.

The FAFSA and CADAA form actually help determine the different types of financial aid ply and pay the fee for the Common APP, only to find out that the University they were applying to did not charge an application fee. Do your research!

Gift Aid - grants and scholarships

Self-help Aid - Loans and student employment

Federal Work Study Programs - these are better than a job because academics always come first with these position.
